Workshop 1

From neurons to networks: Advancing multimodal imaging for brain function studies
(Lecture Hall F7)

Leading researchers will discuss the latest advancements in imaging technologies for studying brain function. This will include innovative techniques in optoacoustic imaging and their potential applications in neuroscience, whole-brain coding of emotion states in mice using functional ultrasound imaging, and the development of PET tracers for neuroimaging from rodents to humans. Additionally, advancements in functional magnetic resonance imaging of the spinal cord, the potential of high-resolution MRI for in vivo histology, and cutting-edge techniques for capturing neuromagnetic fields from the brain and spinal cord with optically pumped magnetometers will be explored.
